Funnyman #2
In "A Fool's Duel!", Funnyman steps in when a jealous suitor threatens a young woman, leading to a showdown that’s as absurd as it is daring. With a wooden sword and a heart made of red ink, the Daffy Daredevil faces off against the arrogant Charles Cheval in a duel that turns on wit and a well-placed slice. Written by Jerry Siegel and illustrated by Joe Shuster, this 1948 adventure from Magazine Enterprises delivers classic mischief with a dash of physical comedy. The cover, by Creig Flessel and Marvin Stein, captures the scene’s zany tension perfectly.
